Rather than an "OOPS!" moment, as the guilty school proclaims, I'm pretty sure someone should lose their teaching credentials and be prosecuted for a variety of crimes.

Doesn't surprise me. I lived there for 12 years. I swear, many still live in that, "That's night that the lights went out in Georgia" mentality.

Didn't Atlanta have a huge teaching scandal involving false grades in the past year?

Why yes, it did!

If the slaves had backbone, the answer is 0.
